hrothgar Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Sometimes.I find they pause when they have the King - it's a dead giveaway. I have noticed that the performance of the client has gotten significantly worse this year and enormously worse over the last couple weeks I am assuming that this is related to serving ads (cuase nothing else client side feels that costly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilowsky Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Actually, the 'pausing' - it really does happen - is clearly completely random.GIB pauses during bidding and play in tournaments, challenges and casual.I think that there is a 'race' format where this doesn't happen but I can't recall which one.I've taken it as a valuable learning experience. Since the pausing by GIB is random and meaningless, I now ascribe absolutely no significance to pauses by human opps.This has dramatically enhanced my focus on working out where the cards are.Hopefully, I'll see a benefit from it!I used to 'infer' all kinds of things from breaks in tempo and pauses. Robot Bridge has shown me what a waste of time that is - so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepossum Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Thanks for the comments My table gradually ground to a halt over various hands I suspected problems in the client/browser/OS/local network side of things :) Sometimes I have felt that the bots demonstrate a certain attitude from time to time. maybe they didn't like some of my bidsI had made a few flexible interpretations of opening bids earlier in the session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Go to Options>Advanced>Super Advanced>Top Secret and enable the "Zap GIB with electrical overload". After GIBs get zapped a few times, that will make them play twice as fast, but with twice as many bad plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously swallowed the red pill.Or maybe the blue pill and just think I swallowed the red pill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepossum Posted June 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 I don't know if it was the cause but I had been neglecting my router maintenance for a while, did a long overdue check and noticed a possible flood of something at one of other ports, possibly when playing bridge. Sadly I neglected to check where it was from and which port. Even my paranoia can't cope with current stress levels. You don't get much information I think my router can't store much EDIT. Another similar flood this morning so maybe just a coincidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
